Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be sure to use correct tense and a clear topic sentence. Start with a direct answer in past tense, then give one or two specific supporting details. Use linking words (e.g., "because", "so", "however") correctly and avoid unnecessary fillers like "Honestly."

Example: No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents couldn't afford one. As a result, I usually walked or took the bus to visit friends, and sometimes I borrowed a neighbor's bike for short rides.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence, fix grammar and pronunciation errors, and use specific examples. Use linking words to contrast ideas (e.g., "However", "On the other hand"). Avoid unclear words ("shiplies", "hubby") and replace them with accurate vocabulary such as "trains" or "commuters/recreational".

Example: Not really — bicycles aren't very common because most people prefer public transport such as buses and trains. However, on weekends many children and recreational cyclists still ride bikes in parks for exercise and leisure.

× Honestly, I don't have a bike when I was a child because my parents couldn't afford it.

✓ Honestly, I didn't have a bike when I was a child because my parents couldn't afford it.

The sentence mixes present tense ('don't have') with a past time reference ('when I was a child'). Use past tense 'didn't have' to match the time frame. Suggestion: keep past tense for verbs describing past situations (e.g., 'I didn't have a bike').

× Not really bicycles aren't widespread in my country because most of the people prefer public transport like buses and shiplies.

✓ Not really. Bicycles aren't widespread in my country because most people prefer public transport like buses and ships.

The original is run-on and lacks necessary punctuation between clauses. Also 'the most of the people' is awkward—'most people' is correct. 'Shiplies' is not a correct word; context likely intended 'ships' or 'trains'. Suggestions: separate ideas with a period or connective, use 'most people', and use the correct noun 'ships' if referring to water transport.

× However, many children and hubby cyclists still enjoy riding bikes for exercise and for fun.

✓ However, many children and hobby cyclists still enjoy riding bikes for exercise and for fun.

The word 'hubby' is incorrect here; the intended adjective is 'hobby' describing 'cyclists'. Use 'hobby cyclists' to mean people who cycle as a hobby. Also 'for exercise and for fun' is fine but could be shortened to 'for exercise and fun'. Suggestion: replace incorrect word with 'hobby' and consider conciseness.
